Content

The unit content focuses on the strategic management of people in the workplace. It is designed for managers or aspiring managers to be able to understand the potential of strategic HRM in the macro context to build a strategic competitive advantage for organisations. It uses a mix of local and global examples to illustrate these points. Specific attention is given to issues of strategic alignment and developing a HR strategy, talent management, human resources planning, talent development, and managing for performance. Students will also develop practical skills in HRM topics that they will be able to utilise in their workplaces.

The unit will include presentations from industry HR professionals, along with an assessed group presentation involving a simulated unfair dismissal case at Fair Work Australia. The examination is based on a complex case study, which is discussed in small groups during the program.
